[Pan-users] HELP: Could not connect to newsserver eternal-september because of suspected use of TOR

[Joachim Elz-Fianda]

Dear experts,
I had just installed the PAN newsreader because the new version of my SeaMonkey, 2.5., does no more an useful connection. I use Win 7 Pro on an Intel Quad mainboard.

I got my password rejected always. This error is well known at eternal-september but there is no useful help.
 Therefore I tried to use PAN.

Now, after installing the actual GFK+ toolkit and the PAN newsreader i get the following message if i try to connect to news.eternal-september.org:

Pan ist jetzt offline. Bitte schauen Sie in »Datei|Statusprotokoll«, um das Problem zu beheben, dann wählen Sie »Datei|Onlinemodus«, um fortzusetzen.

So this means that PAN tries to connect via TOR. I have installed TOR but I am not using it in the moment.
What can I do to circumvent the use of TOR for this access ?
Please help !
thanks
